Kurdish Snipers Spread Throughout Fallujah, Shooting Civilians from Mosque Minarets
2004-04-15
From Jihad Unspun
Shaykh ‘Abd as-Sattar ‘Abd al-Jabbar, member of the Board of Muslim ‘Ulama’ and a representative of the team mediating in negotiations between the al-Fallujah Resistance and the American Marine aggressors, confirmed that the Peshmergah were fighting alongside the American invaders and that they wear the uniforms of the newly-constituted American puppet army of Iraq. The Americans have given them the role of sharpshooters, using the Brno rifles with which the Kurds are familiar. This report confirms an earlier story carried by Mafkarat al-Islam (www.islammemo.cc) that 12 Peshmergah militiamen had been killed at the al-Fallujah front, and that they were serving as sharpshooters for the Americans. They would hunt down civilians and others from rooftop positions and mosque minarets.

Aren't paybacks a b!tch?

#8  It's time to pull a Stalingrad on the Iraqis. Line up every damned artillery piece we can find, line 'em up ten deep, axle-hub to axle-hub, and just start shelling until there's nothing left. MAKE SURE THE AL-JAZ REPORTER IS IN FALLUJAH AT THE TIME, AND HAS AN OPEN LINK TO QATAR. I want him to give a running account of the receiving end of the carnage. Maybe the next bunch of raving lunatics will have second thoughts.

It's worth a try - nothing else seems to get their attention. And at the same time, somebody give Chalabi a chin-whiskers haircut.

#7  How many have they killed? I want to know if they're any good or not.

#6  Boy, we better let Al-Sadr fire up his newspaper and set the story straight for the millions.

#5   Are we sure it's not Israeli snipers disguised as Kurds wearing US uniforms?

#4  I'm a big fan of puppets. Are they going to have parades?

#2  Now I'm confused. The American snipers are shooting kittens and the Kurdish ones are shooting the ducklings? Or is it the other way around? And who gets to shoot the bunnies? And do they always use mosques for snipers nests or do they sometimes use clinics and preschools? The mind boogles!

#1  Ya know, as much as I admire the Kurds, I hope the ones helping us over there have gotten very careful lectures about the laws of war. Given the way the Baathist government treated them, I can easily imagine them wanting to get revenge on its heartland.
